The article discusses the message of Martin Luther's 95 Theses, citing it's opening statement: "When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, 'Repent'". It cites on the familiarization of Luther of the canon law, which had distinguished the guilt of sin from the punishment of sin. The article also discusses on the idea of guilt and punishment as reparative rather than retributive endured in solidarity with Christ.
